Android Question Is it possible to save or serialize a StatusBarNotification object??

[cheveguerra]

Hi everybody,

I am playing with the ReplyAuto library by @jsaplication.mobile (it is GREAT!!!!) and when I receive a notification, I am storing it in a customType:

Class_Globals
Type lasNotis(number As String, notif As StatusBarNotification)

Sub ReplyAuto_NotificationPosted (SBN As StatusBarNotification)
    Dim noti As lasNotis
    noti.Initialize
    noti.number = SBN.Title
    noti.notif = SBN
    tempMap.Put(SBN.Title, noti)
End Sub

And later I can use the mapped notification object to send a message to that person:

Sub sendMessage(theNumber)
    Dim t1 As lasNotis = tempMap.Get(theNumber)
    Dim t2 As StatusBarNotification = t1.notif
    notificationService.rp.reply(t2.Notification, "com.whatsapp", "Have a nice day!!")
End Sub

So this works alright, but I can only send messages to people that have sent me messages since the app started, when the app restarts for any reason, the customType also starts afresh ... so, I would like to save/store this customType, but whenever I try to serialize it, I get an error message saying that it cannot serialize object: StatusBarNotifications

I have tried KVS, writeString, writeMap and WriteB4XObject, but always get the same error (Cannot serialize object: StatusBarNotification) ... SO .. is it possible to save a StatusBarNotification object?

Is there any other way to store it directly as an object without serialization or something?

Best regards

is it possible to save a StatusBarNotification object?

No. You can not store any Object. It is possible with a CustomType holding strings, single values (int, long, double, string) and bytearrays.

So I can only hold it in memory but nothing else?

correct.

 

[cheveguerra]

correct.

Ok, thank you anyway!!

Ok, thank you anyway!!

I discovered a way to save a notification object to reuse it to send a message again so I still have to add the library. but soon I will bring news

try to get the id of the notification channel he is responsible for the notification to work the notification object has all the data except the channel.

That would be great, it would open some good possibilities for the library!!
